Wheels of Recovery made good its promise this year to widen endurance events amongst recovery communities by working in conjunction with Air Football who brought service users from Redbridge, Newham and Tower Hamlets to attempt a second 1000km relay ride.
Well,...the weather was torrential rain but perseverance saw us complete an amazing 777 kilometres of walking, running and cycling. Air Football were particularly impressive in pushing everyone on, and all this despite losing their project leader and figurehead Colm, who was badly injured after crashing out of the lead on about the 4th lap. Ambulance gone (amid cheers of encouragement) and did the Airfootball crew stop.......no! They carried on to take eventual 1st and 3rd place at 100km's and most of the top mileages.
next year we go across the UK!..............on foot!
